The Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) announced that emails sent from its domains will display the FSA symbol as an icon in recipients’ mailboxes when the recipient’s email service supports Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), to help users more easily recognise genuine FSA messages as part of anti-spoofing measures. The change applies to emails from fsa.go.jp and edinet-fsa.go.jp. BIMI is described as a technology that displays the symbol of an authenticated organisation as an icon as part of spoofing email countermeasures.
